    CRT, LCD, DMD, ILA, D-ILA, and plasma display devices. Selectable Refresh Rate — The IN1404 output vertical refresh rate is adjustable from 60 Hz to 120 Hz. By converting PAL (50 Hz) and NTSC (60 Hz) input signals to higher, more ergonomic refresh rates, the scaler makes it possible to display a remarkably solid, flicker-free image when using CRT monitors and projectors.

    VGA resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring optimal compatibility with a wide range of CRT, LCD, DMD, ILA, D-ILA, and plasma display devices. Dual Outputs — The IN1404 features a 5-BNC output and a 15-Pin HD (VGA) output. Since both are active simultaneously, the IN1404 can directly drive two separate display devices.

  • Page 6: Output

    Output The IN1404 features selectable output resolutions from 640 x 480 up to 1365 x 1024 to match the optimum or native resolution of virtually any display device. The unit provides a progressive scan output signal at standard resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring optimal compatibility and exceptional image quality with a wide range of CRT, LCD, DMD, ILA, D-ILA, and plasma display devices.

    Output Resolution: This control lets you select the appropriate resolution for your display device. The available resolutions are listed on page 22. Because the IN1404 only scales up, users must choose an output resolution that is greater than or equal to the input size. For instance, you may not select 640 x 480 output with PAL input signals since PAL has more than 480 lines of video.

  • Page 20: Advanced Menu

    This setting is useful to manually reduce the height of the output signal when an anamorphic input signal is connected. The IN1404 only scales up; therefore, the output size controls will stop at a certain point at which the input and output resolution are equal.

  • Page 21: Choosing The Optimal Resolution And Refresh Rate

    Choosing the Optimal Output Resolution and Refresh Rate Of all the settings on the IN1404, perhaps the most critical adjustment is the output resolution and output refresh rate. Every display device has an optimal or native resolution and an optimal refresh rate.

    4 when set to RGB passive mode. Once you have set input 3 or input 4 for RGB passive mode, the IN1404 is functioning as a passive switcher and you will not be able to see any on-screen menus. If you wish to select a different input mode following this procedure: Select input 1 or 2 (use the front panel Input Select buttons).

  • Page 25: Default Power-Up Buttons

    Default power-up buttons An output mode, output sync format or a factory reset may be selected without the use of the IN1404 menu. This is particularly useful if the monitor does not display an image or if the image is scrambled.
  • Page 26 • Input Mode:* Four options are available: Auto Detect - The default mode at power up that allows the IN1404 to automatically detect new input modes and adjust accordingly. Lockout Changes - Prevents the IN1404 from switching back and forth between input modes, or flickering when small input mode changes occur (such as from a VCR in fast forward or reverse).

    In Figure 5 on the following page, the input blanking is set incorrectly (as indicated by the dashed lines). If the H-Blanking is set to less than the actual H-Blanking, the IN1404 will look for the active area before it really occurs. This results in a blank border on the left side of the active area, and cropping on the right side of the active area.

  • Page 28: Active Area Adjustment

    In Figure 6 on the following page, the active area is adjusted incorrectly, as shown by the dashed lines. If the active pixels are set to less than the actual active pixels, the IN1404 will look for the active area inside this smaller region.

    Alternatively, if the input pixel clock is known, the input total pixels may be calculated from the formula shown below. The input horizontal scan rate, as measured by the IN1404, can be found under System Info of the Advanced Menu section on page 18.

    Solution 2: Verify that the audio source is connected to the correct input and that the source volume has not been turned down or muted. Solution 3: The audio output of the IN1404 is line level audio only. It should be connected to a mixer/amplifier or to amplified “computer type” speakers.

  • Page 38 Solution 3: Change the comb or trap filter setting. Problem: The output resolution will not decrease. Solution 1: The IN1404 can only scale up. Resolutions that would result in scaling down are not available. If a lower output resolution is desired, connect a signal with a lower input Active Area.
  • Page 39 Problem: The desired input aspect ratio cannot be selected. Solution 1: The IN1404 can only scale up. Increase the output resolution until the desired aspect ratio is available. Solution 2: Manually decrease the image size by using the output menu.
  • Page 40 Solution 2: The Input Active Pixels may be set too high. Reduce the Input Active Pixels setting to match the input signal. Problem: The input V-Blanking will not increase. Solution: The Input Active Lines may be set too high. Reduce the input Active Lines setting to match the input signal. IN1404 User’s Manual...
